Manifestations
Flank/suprapubic pain, hematuria, UTI signs & SX
Kidney/ureteral/bladder stone
Cessation of ovum development, decrease in estrogen and progestin, cessation of menstruation
Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, Diet restrictions, medications
Chronic Kidney Disease treatment
Utilization of barrier methods and encouraging testing of partners
To prevent spread of STDs
Electroencephalography (EEG)
Diagnostic for seizures
Deformity, loss of function, swelling, bruising, visible on imaging
Fracture
Endometriosis
Surgical intervention (TURP) usually needing continuous bladder irrigation
Treatment for BPH
Must be completed prior to PO intake of any food/fluid for stroke patient
Dysphagia Screen
Synovial fluid aspiration, ESR, Sed Rate, ANA Titer, Rheumatoid Factor Antibody
Diagnostics for RA
Butterfly rash, discoid rash, malaise, arthralgias
SLE
Degeneration of cartilage and bone related to wear and tear
Initiate fluid restriction, give IV sodium bicarb, diuretics, restrict sodium/chloride/fluids
Correction of hyperchloremia
Nursing assessment = TWITCH
Nursing care = SAFE
Hypocalcemia
TWITCH = trousseaus, watch for arrhythmias, increase in bowel function, tetany, chvosteks, hypotension/hyperactive DTR
SAFE = seizure precautions, administer Ca+, foods high in Ca+, emergency equipment
Urinalysis
BUN
Creatinine
Diagnostics for AKI
Pain, tenderness, swelling, crepitus, decreased ROM, loss of joint height
Manifestation of Osteoarthritis
Sudden rupture of a blood vessel or aneurysm in the brain
Hemorrhagic Stroke
Ureters implanted into ileum and out abdominal wall
Ileal conduit
As calcium increases, this will decrease
Phosphorus
Digital rectal exam
Prostate specific antigen
Post void residual
Cystoscopy
Diagnostics for BPH
pH <7.35
PaCO2 > 45
hypoventilation, drowsiness, dizziness
Respiratory Acidosis
Atherosclerosis -> Plaque rupture -> Thrombosis -> Occlusion -> Ischemia -> Necrosis
Pathophysiology of an MI
Reverse acidosis, start insulin drip, correct dehydration with IVF, restore electrolytes and watch Potassium
Treatment of DKA
Must be taken at the exact same time every day, cannot miss or skip a dose, should not double doses, may interfere with other medications, missed doses increase risk of rejection
Anti-rejection meds (immunosuppressants) for kidney transplant patients
Pelvic exam, endometrial biopsy, laparoscopic explorative surgery, imaging studies, lap work
Diagnostics to rule out/determine cause of uterine dysfunction
